Dinkum Dad’s: tonight

Meet tonight at the Woodvale Tavern 7 pm.

Come and join a group of like-minded Dads looking to support and learn from each other how to negotiate the path of Fatherhood. It’s a great opportunity to connect with other Dads, enjoy some food and drink for an hour and half and listen to some guest speakers along the way.

This month discussion will be based around how to spend ‘Dad time’ with each of your kids; being intentional about what you share with them during these times and creative ways to go about that.

No RSVP is required and feel free to bring your mates.

Bethany Home Visit

Last week we were fortunate to have the staff from Bethany Home in Malaysia visiting our school. The students had the pleasure of sharing time with them and showing them their classrooms, enjoying the vegetable garden and playing at bush school.  The Bethany staff were amazed by our fundraising efforts and how much the students knew about Bethany Home and a great time was shared by all.

Bethany Fundraisers

In 2018 our Digital Learning Specialist, Mrs Mallis will be travelling back to Bethany and with the support of the ELC community we are hopingto raise enough funds to replace some of the equipment that is no longer operational. Funds from the ELC Sausage Sizzle, Non Uniform Day, sale of Lilies and Ice-creams in term 1 and 2’s will go towards this fundraising endeavour.

Term 3, Week 8 Notices

Dear Parents

Where has the term gone?!  As we head in to the final two weeks of Term 3, we look back in amazement at the achievements within our school community.  In class, the students have been working hard in a variety of engaging learning experiences aimed at growing both their skills and knowledge, as well as their kindness and empathy towards others.  It has been wonderful to see the involvement of so many students in our co-curricular clubs where they are able to share in the many varied passions and expertise of our incredibly talented staff.

This term we have had a focus on understanding others – putting oneself in another’s shoes and humbly seeking to serve their needs.  It’s been encouraging to see so many students actively building this character of service into their everyday lives; opening doors for others, giving up their turn in a game, looking out for others in the playground who may be looking lonely, giving words of affirmation and encouragement – the list goes on!  It’s words and actions like these that continue to build our wonderful School Community.

As the term draws to a close, we encourage all families to look back and celebrate their child’s successes and accomplishments.  Having these conversations will help to build a positive attitude towards learning; one that values effort, personal growth and a passion for excellence.  This will also help to develop a sense of excitement for learning as we head into the final term for the year.  We know how incredibly important it is for children to have positive memories of their early experiences both at home and at school.  Some activities that families could be involved in together these holidays include:

  • Reading together
  • Exploring the great outdoors
  • Playing board games
  • Preparing and eating meals together
  • Showing affection – no one is too old for a hug!

It’s in these simple actions that we develop long lasting memories that our children look back on with fondness.  We wish you all a restful holiday time and look forward to seeing you safe and sound next term!

Important notice: National data collection on students with a disability

Dear Parents,

The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on school students with disability (NCCD) provides all Australian schools, education authorities and the community with a clear picture of the number of students receiving adjustments because of disability in schools, and the adjustments they are provided to enable them to participate in education on the same basis as other students.

The Australian Education Regulation 2013, requires that all schools, provide information to the Australian Government Department of Education and Training (the Department) for the purposes of the NCCD.

The information that Schools must give to the Department includes, in relation to each student with a disability at a school:

  • the student’s level of education (i.e. primary or secondary)
  • the student’s category of disability (i.e. physical, cognitive, sensory or social/emotional)
  • the student’s level of adjustment (i.e. support provided within quality differentiated teaching practice, supplementary, substantial or extensive adjustment).

Please note, any information collected, will not identify any individual student, in any way.

For further information regarding the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data school students with disability, please visit: https://docs.education.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/2017_-_nccd_-_fact_sheet_for_parents_and_carers_v5.pdf
